I've decided to take a walk to explore the world around me. If you'd like to come along, I'll share my thoughts with you on what I've found on this journey.

Just Not For Me!

I don’t even know what to say!

The world’s most pierced woman, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, has added to her collection with a 6,005th piercing, the U.K.’s Telegraph reported.

Elaine Davidson, of Edinburgh, Scotland, made the Guinness World Record official in 2000 when she had a mere 462 piercings—192 of which were in her face. Nine years later, the Brazilian-born nurse has thousands of piercings including more than 1,500 that she says are “internal.” (I don’t want to ask or know any more than that!)

Surprisingly, Davidson says she doesn’t like getting pierced. “To break the record you have to get to a high level. I wanted to break the record. My family [doesn’t] even like tattoos or piercings. But I am happy. I decided to change myself and be me.”

What do I say? Where do I begin?

How about with what my Dad used to say to me when I came up with some stupid idea: “ARE YOU CRAZY!”

Ms. Davidson, are you crazy!

I have to tell you, if I were in the hospital and you walked in to treat me, I don’t think I could let you. I’d be just too afraid. Call me a wimp you would like! Either that, or all I could do would be to stare, and I know that's not polite!

I have only one word to say: "ouch!" Or maybe "Ewwwwwww". I will agree with you Steve that if I was in the hospital and this was my nurse, she would not be my nurse very long. I would bet someone put a curse on me who was into voodoo. No way. Nada. Not a snowball's chance in you know where would she be my nurse.

Um. Ouch! Wonder what she'd do if she had to have surgery. Couldn't imagine taking them all out for an x-ray. LOL!

Hiatus from my blog is much needed. I will be back, but I don't know when. My brain needs to refocus and other stuff. Thanks for the encouragement. I'll still be around online (mostly e-mail and Facebook). So smile. :)

Just Who I Am

M. Steve Heartsill resides in Chelsea, Alabama, with his wife, son, and overly pampered dog. If you keep reading this blog, you'll come to know more about each of them, along with a whole slew of other folks. Would love to hear from you and learn how you are putting your toes in the water.
